Wenger unhappy with lack of Wilshere protection

Arsene Wenger has expressed his unhappiness with the refereeing of today’s 1-0 win over Sunderland, suggesting that his players don’t get the same treatment as the opposition.

Arsenal’s players were subjected to a series of cynical fouls from Martin O’Neill’s team, with one seeing Jack Wilshere having to be substituted, early in the second half.

When asked if he was happy with the officiating by Anthony Taylor, Wenger said, “No, I wasn’t, especially on Jack. I was a bit frustrated because I thought many times, Jack didn’t get the free-kick he deserved.

“The referee let two or three things go that I thought were fouls on Jack. I want just the referee to give a foul when it’s a foul. I don’t want any special protection.

“The referee is not a bodyguard, he is just a referee and you want him just to give a foul when it’s a foul.”

It wasn’t just today. Refs let players get away with kicking Jack all the time. I can’t understand it.

gooner

It’s not just Jack either. It’s Arsenal in general. Like that BFG clearance that some twat blocked with his hands well raised and all of a sudden was one on one with Szcz.
I remember telling a friend of mine, “that can’t happen against united”

kierangibbs'legs

FUCK. Don’t even let me start on the amount of cuntery the fucking cunt larsson showed. He just fucking stepped on ramsey and got away with it. I hope someone from arsenal learn to fuck other players up like keane or pepe.

UGooner

And the fucking commentators kept saying we are soft and the players were choosing to stay down blah blah… Sunderland started the game with clear instructions to ‘let Arsenal players know they are there’… Sunderland looked a bit Stoke-like at times and that makes two games in a row our players have been kicked with similarly poor protection from the refs. Such bullshit. The truth is it is part of the game and even now when Arsenal is not doing s well, most teams have stuck to the philosophy that to beat Arsenal you have to play physical and kick… Read more »

You know what’s fantastic though… 2 games against two cunty windowlicking teams who were sent out to kick us off the pitch – and two gritty 1-0 wins. That’s really fucking satisfying and shows this side has a bit of a backbone. Jack is a huge part of that, I’m certain his attitude is rubbing off on the others – even Cazorla showed a bit more physical presence today.

argonaut

To be fair, this lot seemed worse than Stoke. O’Neill has made Sunderland far worse than they were.

The ref went from letting everything go by to then switching and carding everything.

Mikel Artekkers

Not to mention Wigan earlier in the season. Shaun Maloney, you are a cunt.

Last-arse

All the best to Wilshire, hope it aint that serious. The ref was/is a c*nt.

Bunburyist

[On another note, I’m enjoying this new (old) Arsenal that gives as good as it gets.]

BARN DOOR

We’ve been getting fuck all for years Arsene, you should know that by now…. Is utter bollocks… Most referees aren’t happy until Arsenal players have been kicked out of the game… Wankers….

Bonjour

Some of our players exaggerate their falls (Arteta). We don’t get the decision. Some of our players try their best not to fall and play on with knocks (Wilshere). We still don’t get the decision. There is no way we can win over the favour of referees unless we fire Wenger, drop to mid-table and get rid of any player who is able to pass the ball on the ground for more than 6 yards. Then hopefully whoever is behind this will be happy that English football becomes just like Scotland with the two Manchester clubs winning everything every year,… Read more »

ne

or we kick the ref,wake him up..

Billy Mac

The FA should have a meeting with all the refs and tell them he’s the future of the England football team and then he’ll get the protection that Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard get. If he was a diver, he’d even get a few undeserved penalties too. As a Scotsman, I don’t care too much what he does for England but if this keeps him fit and protected for Arsenal, I’m all for it

A Yank

No, the FA should start using foreign refs. I know it will never happen. But, shit, watching United struggle at home in Champions League group stage matches this year convinced me that the playing field in England isn’t level when it comes to the officiating, It just isn’t.

Eric Irish gunner

And he shouldn’t be playing 90 fucking minutes in a friendly

stonedwasherman

glad to hear the boss saying that the injury wasn’t too serious and Jack should be back in a matter of a few days..

king_bilo

how long is that in arsenal medic time?

Nedya

3-4 Months…

Zeddington

Just a kick, he should be fine. Kos, too. I think both will be back, if not for Bburn, then for Bayern. Vermaelen too, you’d hope!

TeeCee

So how old is Jack in injury years?

nishanth

When an arsenal player commits a player its usually an immediate yellow.If its the opposition first couple of fouls gets waved on..then the ref gives a warning..and then comes the booking..I know some will say cattermole got a yellow for his first foul..but that was such an obvious one..horrible tackle it was on ramsey

Jack's Right Foot

Poor little Jack. He’s a fighter though – just what this team needs.

Noeladishi

If we ever put up a seriously title challenge again and if we were in the mix to win the league, we would be kicked out of the title chase like we have been in the past. This happens to our players when we are playing well and frustrating teams. Its the only way they can deal with us and stop us from playing. Only a matter of time before someone gets a leg broken again.

gooner

More like frustrating refs…

Ryan Shawcross.

Remember me?

Tony Pulis

I thought you were on a date with yer sister?

gunnerjoe

You and your likes are really really cunts.

gooner

No, but I remember your sister.

I want to punch tony pubis, lots and lots

Oh so you’ve met his mum!

Wenger's Herpes

I could never banish your grouper-mouthed stare from the pits of my mind.

ArseJas

It’s beyond fucking ridiculous already! Ref’s buy into this bullshit notion that Arsenal are weak and therefore it’s okay when teams are rough against us, then they end up letting vile horrible challenges on our players slide. No wonder we’ve had 4 leg breaks on our players since 06, we’re always the most at risk because of it.

Noeladishi

exactly. All this about Arsenal being ”soft” is bound to creep into the refs minds. Its not right.

UGooner

And then our players are weak, injury prone and soft….. No fuckers, we are also getting kicked six ways to Sunday.

Bunburyist

Just wait for the headlines tomorrow from all the idiotic, illiterate journalists in Britain: “Wenger wants special protection for Wilshere”. No he doesn’t. He just wants a foul called when it’s a fucking foul.

deano

He’s Englands brightest star and biggest hope the press might back him for a change.

tony pullis

Not the time Ryan. Not the time.

Benis

Tony Penis it is.

Adam

Thick cunt spelt Pulis wrong!

Bonjour

No, he spelt his own name wrong, the thick cunt.

Bren

Everyone knows that polish is spelt CUNT. as is shawcrossand stoke.

Nedya

@ Bren, Sczs is a cunt?… I dont think so…

New Guy

I’m going to give Bren the benefit of the doubt and assume that when he says “polish” that’s an auto-correct from pulis….right? Because on a slightly *boilk* Sunday morning I’d like to retain a little bit of faith in humanity at least for a few more minutes.

BafflerMeal

That’ll be a fine and a three match ban for Arsene then.

Rufusstan

5 minutes or so towards the start of the second half that sum up both Sunderland’s strategy to cope with our midfield, and the ref’s attitude.

Wilshere gets tripped late/off the ball (unpunished) and has to leave the field. Shortly after, Ramsey goes into a challenge and someone stamps on his ankle (unpunished). A little latter, Arteta goes into a challenge and gets kicked on the knee (unpunished).

Pretty much a microcosm of the whole game.

LPguy

you forgot the part when X player passed the ball through the legs of player Y, representing the goal that won us the match

Juice

Best part is the most cynical challenges cant be dealt with afterwards, because officials were looking straight at it and did nothing.

Nice rule there cunts. Makes perfect sense,

Muse

I hope that cunt never refs another Arsenal game again.

Juliud

Larson kicked Ramsey’s ankle was unpunished went straight away and fouled Arteta nothing given! Cattermole started as early as the first whistle! Fouls every where! The ref had an agenda! Jenks did it twice and he was off! We need refs to give a foul when it’s a foul… We don’t need protection! You injure good players like jack?? No wonder England don’t win anything… If Rooney and co are protected because the play for Manu and Liverpool but you let a better English player get kicked because he plays for Arsenal is madness England will never win anything untill… Read more »

gunnerjoe

It does not matter who the fucking ref is it’s always the same kick Arsenal players no foul.

GIROUD

im not happy the way i get kicked……..i should be protected too…….

alphie

heard arseblog saying he missed us getting red cards n 3 points. well…Carl’s the man. superb defensive shift. Ramsey and sagna for motm for playing out of position and playing the best they could.

Carl simply lacks confidence.just doing the basics.this ain’t time for basics.

COYG. nervous for 45 minutes.still shaking.need me a drink!!!

A N Other

I can understand why gets fouled..Messi gets fouled a lot as well but then Spainish refs are intelligent enough to call fouls when necessary.. Our refs are stupid – if wilshere is play acting then book him. If not, then give him the free kick.. There is nothing in between..

I am just pissed off with the fact that on one hand Jack is deemed as England’s saviour and on the other hand he is been kicked like they want to finish his career tonight..

UGooner

Only at Arsenal are the English stars not protected. Not Theo, not Wilshere. And when he goes for an England friendly, he plays the whole freaking game just because Hodgson wants a win against Brazil.

I find it ironic that Wishere was replaced by our most fragile player. I understand that diaby can provide some degree of physical presence and that perhaps is why Wenger chose this option as opposed to bringing Podolski onto the wing and moving Santi to the middle. As soon as he came on he took a few crunching tackles without a whistle and I flashed back to his incident with Joey Barton. I guess the only other option in the middle was Rosicky who is even more fresh out of the doctor’s office. Oh well fuck it, we won and… Read more »

Gunsen gunner

I think Diaby dealt with their thuggery fairly well.At one point he was surrounded by three cunts and managed to muscle his way out of it.He wasn’t afraid to get stuck in,made a lot of clearances from their umpteen corners.

pauliegooner

Two weeks in a row we have played characters from The Lord of the Rings we think we’ve got it rough at the Emirates, imagine if you had to watch these Neanderthals on a reglar basis.

Lasagna

Seriously, how can someone like Lee Cattermole even be called a professional footballer? He is dreadfull and the only thing he does on the pitch is runing around, kicking opponents to the ground and hoping he won’t get a card for it, wich he doesn’t if the referee is a complete cunt like Anthony Taylor

To

Not surprised… Martin O’neill is Coach and the return of the thug Catermole …. I wondered how many injuries we would get today… Pity Sunderland do not try so hard against Manure!!!! Strange

IL-Gooner

The ref called 13 fouls against us. 6 (!) against Sunderland. Which means we’re a dirtier team than these soft Northeners, apparently. Our dirtiest player must be Theo Walcott (aka “The Thug”), who hurt Danny Rose’s elbow with his face. That’s the second match in a row Theo is doing this, but luckily the ref has caught him this time around.

Jones

The home crowd certainly let Theo know what they thought of his thuggery by booing him whenever he was on the ball. Why am I not surprised…

[…] 来源:[Arseblog News] […]

Iloveramsey

Are we as a fans can do something about it? Instead of just complaining to each other here? Compile videos to youtube and let it be viral and make the next game referee aware that we dont get bullied by any referee.

Let our player focus in their game and lets do something. Fuck the manure, other teams are scared to foul them because the referees somehow know that they will get some stick if they take decisions against them.

Sam

Catermole and Larson should both have seen red

Nognir

Last year the set up a pig-pen of a pitch to stop us and this year they let loose all the pigs on the pitch. Pity they didn’t win either time.

Goona13

Lets come to a conclusion, the ref was out there to win Sunderland 3 points and he failed.
UTA.

Zeddington

It isn’t just the kicks and the tackles that weren’t called, there was infinite shirt pulling, dirty niggling elbows and “smaller” offences that disrupted our play and prevented us from moving forward, making a good pass, clearance, etc. These are all fouls – and yet none are called. Just 6 fouls called against them is a complete joke.
